Kevin it depends upon many factors time place skill and money
you can do a retirement hobby with 2-5 plants or a million dollars
business if you can invest and have land or premises to stock and sell
and all teh connected items ..

Besides the bonsai, for quite a few years I've had a pet tortoise (redfoot
tortoise or _Geochelone carbonaria_). A friend remarked that I like slow
things. Thing is, I don't want so many slow things I have to move fast. :-)

Thanks for the moderate note, Theo.
